Laura got me started with this wonderful site:
http://www.ereaderiq.com/free/
I go here about once a week and look for great free books for my Kindle. I have found the most terrific free books; some are free for a long time, and others, for only a day or two.
My routine is to use the options at the top of the page. First, I filter so I only see the books that are new since my last visit to EReader IQ, and then I sort by "Stars and Reviews." Today, it came up with 1,538 books to choose from.
Today, if I turn off the "since last visit" filter, I have 4,148 books to choose from.
I have my little quirks - NO werewolves and vampires, and very little fantasy and sci-fi (although I liked fantasy and sci-fi as a kid, I usually don't care much for it now). I get lots of free cookbooks, Christian books, how-tos, business books, and novels. These are modern books, not classics, but you can find and read a zillion classics at other sites, including Amazon.
What has this got to do with knitting? Well, my Kindle reads to me, and I listen to it while I knit. Machine knitting is noisy, so earbuds are very helpful. I can knit a long time waiting to hear what will happen next! I have also downloaded .mp3s from Librivox.org, which are audio books read by volunteer readers, generally very popular classics.
